Currently I think Youkai Ascension is really cool. In concept and in practice, as well as in all the cool icons that exist. However there are a few things I don't like about it. I don't like that only certain Youkai have ascensions, and I Don't like that we're able to have as many ascended Youkai as possible. This cuts design flexibility I imagine, as you can't just churn out ascended Youkai in the game or you'll end up with people using fifteen of them.

So here's what i'd propose, to make it much cooler and more diverse:
1: Every Youkai can be Ascended.
2: Ascending a Youkai costs more than it does now. 
3: Each person can only have -one- ascended Youkai
4: Possibly grand summoner gets a passive that allows them to have two ascended Youkai, to fit in their theme of summoning many Youkai. Otherwise Bonders would get a better deal, as they only want 1 or 3 Youkai to begin with, so only one ascended Youkai doesn't really affect them.

If this suggestion seems desirable, then i'm sure you could open up suggestions for what each Youkai's ascended form would be able to do. And icons too i'm sure could be donated as well!
